- Hi guys and welcome to my new video. In this tutorial, I'll be taking you step by step through the process of how to make these gorgeous, stylish and simple beaded earrings, using copper wire and a few jewellery making items you should have in your collection.
Forgive my constant use of the word "erm" though :D I'm still new to making videos and it's my go-to for "argh! what am I doing!!!" I'll try really hard not to do it in future recordings :D
Equipment you will need:
8mm beads
1mm or 18g copper wire, dead soft
0.4mm or 24g copper wire, dead soft
Six step bail making pliers, or round nose pliers
Flush cutters
Chain nose pliers
Ruler
Bench block and chasing/rubber hammer (for the ear wires)
Small file (for the ends)
Hope you have lots of fun making these little loves. Let me know in the comment section how you get along. I'd love to hear from you. Sam x
Thanks!
That’s so very kind of you, thank you so much for your support 🥰🥰
Love these, especially the turquoise color!
Thank you! I think turquoise looks amazing with copper ☺️
This is one of the very best teaching videos I’ve ever seen. Thanks so much. Your teach just like me! Every step explained in detail. Thank you so much. 🌈💜
Glad it was helpful! ☺️
Thanks for the great tutorial Samantha. Had to chuckle at your stash comment. Same thing here! My spouse hands me the latest package when it arrives but has no clue of the amount accumulated! Happy beading!
LOL it's so funny whenever a package comes through the door. I have to get there quick before he sees haha. Joyful beading :)
Samantha - I have been following you just the past couple months. You are incredible, as a teacher, your photo quality, your tips, just incredible! Love your videos! So glad I found you.
That is so very lovely of you to say, thank you so much. I love the creative community, don't you ❤️
😊 Thank you!
@@samanthalatimer1 Yes!!!
Hahaha more that my husband knows, same here. Thank you they are beautiful, love the movement of the bead
Aren’t they gorgeous 😍
Finding it like sitting with a good friend and following simple well worded instructions with a sweet little accent 😂❤❤❤❤
Oh I love that 😍 Although I wouldn’t ever say my accent is “sweet” lol 😂
Also my name is samantha . Nice to meet you 🤝 😊
Maybe you've not spent a lot of time with Midwesterns lol
@@gypsybarrett4402 nice to meet you too 🤗
Thank you for this great tutorial! Can't wait to try making a pair. Watching from the US and enjoying your lovely accent.
Ah that's so sweet of you! I always think my accent is hideous haha. I'm really pleased you enjoyed the tutorial
I've been watching your tutorials, playing catch up. And each video you make it seem so easy. I can't wait to get my hands on some copper wire and washers to try these and the rings out. You are simply amazing!!!!! Please keep the videos coming. I've learned so much from you. And thank you for being so encouraging too.
Thank you so much for such lovely words, Jeanetta 😍 So very kind of you. You will LOVE making the rings…! So cute and versatile 😍 I have more videos planned for sure, so thank you for your encouragement too
Exactly what I was looking for. You're a great teacher! Thanks

Ah thank you so much! That’s very kind of you ☺️
Very nice🎉
Thank you so much ☺️
I love these earrings. I’m going to make several pairs. I also LOVE the red/silver bracelet you’re wearing. Did you make it? If so, where did you get those link beads….I’ve been looking for something like that for ages, without success!
Oh that was a gift my husband bought me for my birthday a few years ago. It’s beautiful isn’t it. Purchased from Silver Moon in Ambleside in Cumbria 🥰
I made these tonight with rose gold wires with an olive green bead. I wrapped all the way from the top down to center, across through the bead and back up the other side to the top of the circle. I made the cutest little rose gold earring wires to match. I love these lil cuties so much, I’m going to make a pair in all my fav beads haha. Thank you! 🫶🏻🇨🇦
Ooh rose gold and olive green sounds so pretty! I made so many different ones too! They’re addictive 😃
@@samanthalatimer1 Yes! yes they are lol. I just think they look so professionally made. I love them so much!
Me gusta tu forma de explicar, gracias. Ese alambre se oscurece? Saludos, desde Caracas, Venezuela.
Muchas gracias. Sí, el cobre puede oscurecerse con el tiempo. Pero puedes limpiarlo con ketchup! O un limpiador de cobre
This is simply Beautiful!❤ Thank you so much for sharing, I'm going to make these today!! (new subscriber)
That’s wonderful ❤️ Please do let me know how you get along
Hi there Samantha! It took me a little longer to do, I'm very new to jewelry making in general, however it was a really nice and comforting. I think mine are a little wonky but still wearable, lol. I didn't make the hooks, I don't have a steel block yet, so the hooks I do have unfortunately don't match but it's ok. You're a Great Teacher! Thanks for the Wonderful experience!!♥️
I’m sorry I’ve only just seen this reply! I just love that you’ve had such a relaxing and comforting experience. That’s just what we need, isn’t it. So happy you had a lovely time making these 🥰
@@samanthalatimer1 Exactly, thanks again! ❤️
I made these but the wrap slid all over and would not stay in the center. I may try again and wrap all the way up to the top so it doesn’t slide around. I even squeezed the wrap and it still didn’t keep it in place. Very cute design - isn’t working for me yet but I’m persistent lol
Thank you for the tutorial!
Ah I know what you mean. Next time, try and smush the wrap lightly against the thicker wire, with your chain nose pliers… that *should hold it in place. I promise that when you make more of them, you’ll definitely get better at it, and the wraps will become tighter. I think wrapping all the way around would look gorgeous too 🥰
Hi Samantha! I live in the USA. Does 0.8mm beads mean the hole size or the bead size? Thank you
They’re 8mm beads, lovely. 🥰 Thank you for pointing out my glaring mistake! OOPS 😅
HIYAAA SAM … I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO BUY SOME 6 STEP PLIERS & FINALLY I WAS JUST ABOUT TO DO SO & NOW I HAVE A DILEMA … DO I GET THEM THAT GO UP TO 9MM OR 10MM , AFTER CHECKING ON THIS VID I AM WONDERING IF YOUR PLIERS GO UP TO 10MM & I WOULD DEARLY LOVE YOUR OPINION ON WHICH SIZE IS MORE PREFERABLE / MOST COMMONLY USED SIZE … THERE IS A SET WITH 2 STICK MANDRELS THAT FILL IN ALL INBETWEEN SIZES , BUT I CAN NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME MAKE A DECISION WITH MOST THINGS 🤦🏻♀️🙈 MAYBE YOUR SON HAS THE SAME ISSUES WITH DECISION MAKING & PROCRASTINATING TOO THOUGH I KNOW WOMEN ARE AFFECTED MORE WITH THIS SYMPTOM … SO I WOULD GRATEFULLY APPRECIATE A PUSH IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION PLEASE & THANK YOU ❤❤❤
Hi Melanie ☺️ Well, mine are 2-9mm so if you wanted to exactly replicate the pieces I show, then get those. I have the 2-9mm and then the double set with 6 and 10mm mandrels. Hope that helps 😊
@@samanthalatimer1 THANKYOU 😊 THAT WAS MY FIRST CHOICE , BUT THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK WITH YOU ❤️ AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 I AM STILL TRYING TO REMEMBER A GOOD JOKE 💭⁉️😂 IF NOT IT WILL BE AN OLD CHEESY ONE 🤣
